“Hired Emily to walk my dog for the week and she was great. She was very communicative and timely. My dog can be very overwhelming with how excited she gets but Emily handled her with no issues. She followed all the instructions/requests I made. She got along great with my dog and I will definitely be using Emily again if I ever need walks or visits for my dog!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
“Can’t say enough good things! My dog got sick on a walk with Gabrielle and didn’t want to walk anymore. She carried him back to the house and stayed to make sure he ate and got plenty of water. She communicated in such a kind and calm way, and spent the extra time to make sure he was okay. Elle has been amazing and such a great help- thank you!”
“What would I ever do without Marilyn’s commitment and dedication to my beloved pet. If you find a Rover Champion make sure to appreciate them. Thanks Rover for finding this gem.”
“Barb was the perfect welcome representative for our first time using Rover. She answered all of our first timer questions and put our mind at ease. What a great first experience.”
About: I have been around animals for my whole life! I attended Saul High School and I am a recently graduated Veterinary nurse from Harcum college! I am currently working at Banfield Pet Hospital and I also have a Pet sitting Business called Walk on the Wild Side! I love pet sitting so anytime anyone needs me I try and make it fit into my schedule! I make sure that every pet gets proper care at the full potential! My pets are my most prized possession! They are all treated like my children and I make sure their every need is taken care of. That goes for other people’s pets as well! Your pets are my pets!
“Katherine was so good with our dog Fergus! She gave such good details on his behavior and how he did on his walks. Being a puppy still in training, it was good for us to know how he did while we were away from him and had Katherine walk him for a few days. She really went above and beyond our expectations by cleaning up a mess that our dog caused after eating a couple books while we were away! Thanks Katherine!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little kid. I’ve been professionally walking and sitting for over a year now. I’ve had several family members ask me to take care of their dogs and cats. I only walk two dogs Monday and Tuesday so the rest of the week I am available for a service. I work from home and can take a walk in the morning or late in the afternoon. I would be more than happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their home. I get on their level and make sure to talk calmly and let them get comfortable on their own terms
About: Hello, my name is India, I am currently a student at Harcum College, and my major is Veterinary Nursing. I absolutely love being around animals! I will make it my responsibility to make sure all animals are healthy and happy. I know all animals are going to enjoy my energetic/ playful personality! I enjoy playing different games such as, fetch, tug of war, and etc. Dog owners will appreciate my loving and caring attitude towards their animals. I look forward too meeting different animals that I will encounter in my future! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty time to play with your pups ! Im available Monday- Friday, Saturday & Sunday anytime after 12pm. My previously clients had a fenced back yard, or porch. I can easily crate your dog if needed . Please let me know in advance
“Allyson has been great in supporting our shy and anxious pup. She is very patient with him. She is great with communicating with us about any updates so we don't have to worry while we're away from home.”
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
“Alex is the best! I hurt my knee and needed someone to walk my large pittie last minute. Alex was nice enough to work him into his schedule even though we have not worked with him before. My dog Alfie tends to pull in a leash and while he loves people, he can sometimes be picky about who walks him. However, he LOVES Alex and Alex does a great job of controlling Alfie on a leash. Thank you so much for your help!”
About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi there! I’m a registered nurse who genuinely loves animals and feels so lucky to be able to care for them. Beyond just loving them, I bring real experience — I’ve personally cared for many different types of dogs, including those with behavioral challenges, so I’m always patient, attentive, and focused on safety. As a nurse, being responsible, detail-oriented, and trustworthy comes naturally to me, and I will always make sure to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same level of care I’d want for my own. I would never put your pet at risk — their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m excited to be a trusted friend to your pup/cat, whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just some good company! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member! Since I work full-time from home (8 AM to 4 PM), I have some flexibility in the afternoons for nearby visits. I’m also an early riser and available in the evenings, with weekends completely open for pet sitting and walks. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need! When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else. I’m respectful of any boundaries or routines you have set — whether that means maintaining crate training, allowing free roam, or following specific house rules. I’m also comfortable helping reinforce positive behaviors if you’re working on training. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels secure, respected, and cared for, just like they would with you!
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 9. I know how to trim nails, give medications, clean and bathe a pet I have a lot of free time due to recent job loss. I am currently very flexible and happy to devote a lot of time to cats and dogs :) I have a fenced yard and clean spare room. I am happy to play with cats and dogs and give medications if needed, as well as baths as needed
“Yoel was great as always! He always sends us photos of our pets to set our minds at ease. This visit he was even able to win over our pathologically shy, anxious cat and we were so relieved that she got some affection while we were gone. Yoel always seems to really enjoy our pets, which is a great feeling for us now that we have our hands full traveling with a baby.”

Germal was truly the perfect person to help us with my pup. He went above and beyond in every aspect to make sure my dog and our home were taken care of. He was super responsive and easy to work with, being flexible and willing to make adjustments if needed. I cannot express how much I recommend Germal and how much my dog is looking forward to seeing him again!
Caitlin responded on last minute notice to take Stella for walks on the following 5 consecutive days (including a meet and greet walk in the rain). She responded promptly to any communication, showed up at her scheduled time every day, and gave us good feedback on how Stella did. Would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a walker.
Courtney was amazing. I booked her on short notice. She canceled her appointment which was completely unnecessary to come in. Dogs hit my dog. She was professional and was sweet and loving to my puppy. She was confident and took charge, which is exactly what we needed. I will hundred percent use her again and I hope that you guys use her services. Your pet would be thankful that you set up an appointment with Courtney.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Rydal is $11 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $11 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rydal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rydal. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rydal after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rydal. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
